What would the errors on this quarter be called? The year 2020 looks out of place and I think a die break?-between the year and the word Stewardship? I'm new to collecting coins, so any info would be greatly appreciated.  |

 to the CCF! The curved line through the top of 2020 is Post Mint Damage. It looks like it was the end coin of a roll and the crimping jaws made contact with the surface as it turned. Do a search of " Wrapping Machine Damage" and you can find many examples of this. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

I wouldve thought it was Post Mint Damage if the damage went through the date as well but there is no damage to the date so it couldnt be post mint damage. It's very clear under a magnifier I guess not so much in the photo?

The tip of the E is above the line that sets just above the date in this error quarter and you can clearly see here that this isn't post mint damage.  |

Here is a closeup of a normal quarter. The far point of the E doesn't line up as it does in the error quarter either.  |

No... After looking into it more and not factoring in that the font on this quarter is recessed I see how a machine couldve done it since the 0 in the date is raised and the striations appear on it?

 The date is incuse, and the damage is only present on the highest points in that area. The damage isn't as deep as the digits of the date, so it skips those areas. Incuse design devises can fool the eye, because it's opposite of the raised devices we are used to seeing on most coins. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting?

Date looks like coin wrapper damage.  Keep in mind that the devices in the outer ring are incuse. )).jpg) So surface contact will not alter the devices that are below that area. The contact marks looks like they flow behind the devices, but are really on the tops of the devices. |
